About the MV-8000 Workshop Series

Rolands MV-8000 Production Studio is packed with features for

making music. Its a heavy-duty sampler that can do all sorts

of things with sounds you sample or import. Its sequencer has

136 tracks for MIDI sequencing and playing back audio, and its

set of editing tools is deep. Its a great box for performing

using its pads or an attached MIDI keyboardand, of course,

it can even burn a CD of your final master mix.

Each MV-8000 Workshop Series booklet focuses on one

MV-8000 topic, and is intended as a companion to your

MV-8000 Owners Manuals.

This booklet requires MV-8000 O.S. Version 3.5 or higher. You

can download the latest O.S. from www.RolandUS.com.

About This Booklet

The MV-8000 is a powerful sampler. Use it to sample your own

sounds, and use them as audio phrases that lock to a beat,

or in playable patches. You can even resample the MV-8000

itself. This booklet explains how to sample on the MV-8000.

The Buttons, the LCD, or a VGA?

On the MV-8000, you can work on the built-in LCD or on an

optional color VGA monitor. You can use the MV-8000s front-panel controls, or a mouse on your VGA screen. No matter how

you like to work, theres an easy way to get things done.

Probably the best idea is to work primarily with a mouse on a

VGA, using the MV-8000s buttons to quickly get in and out of

MV-8000 screens. The procedures in this booklet typically

assume youll be working this way.

If youre not, dont worry, because the VGA windows and LCD

screens are essentially the same. There are clickable VGA icons

for all of the MV-8000s buttons. You can also press an onscreen

button by clicking your mouse or by pressing an F button on

the MV-8000. The main difference has to do with how you deal

with settingsor parametersand how you select objects.

If youre using a mouse: If youre using the MV-8 000s buttons:

You select parameters and objects witha left click. You change the selected

parameters value by turning the scroll

wheel. You can display an objects

menu by right-clicking the object.

You select parameters and objectswith the3,4,5, and6

CURSOR buttons. Change a selected

parameters value by turning the

VALUE dial or by pressing DEC and INC.

Some Things You Need to Know About Sampling

How a Sound Becomes a Sample

Heres how a sound winds up on your MV-8000 as a sample:

1. The MV-8000 receives the sound, or audio, you want to

sample from one or more of its analog input jacks Use thePHONO inputs for connecting a turntable. Use the MIC/

LINE inputs for connecting microphonesor micsand

instruments.

2. The MV-8000 converts the audio into a digital sampleIt

stashes the sample in an area of memory called sample

RAM, so you can play it and work on it.

A new sample stays in sample RAM until you shut off the MV-8000 or load a

different project. If you do either of these things before saving the current

project, your sample is lost, so, um, dont.

3. You save the current projectThe samples in sample RAM

are stored in the projects SAMPLE folder on the MV-8000s

hard drive. Once youve done this, you can turn off the

MV-8000 or load a different project, and you can always

get back your samples by re-loading their projects.

You can also sample a CD players outputs using the methods well discuss

in this booklet, but youll get even better results importing audio from a

CD using the MV-8000s built-in CD player. To learn how to do this, see theMV-8000 Workshop booklet called Importing a Sample from CD.

For most of the examples in this booklet, were working in a new, empty

project. You can add samples to an existing project, or start out fresh with

a new one. To learn how to create a new project, see the MV-8000 Creating

a New ProjectWorkshop booklet.

Two Ways You Can Use Samples

There are basically two ways to use samples on the MV-8000.

You can use them:

as audio phrases. in a patch.

You can play audio phrases and patches from the pads or an

attached MIDI keyboard, but theyre not the same thingeach

one is designed for a different musical use.

Anything you play from the MV-8000 pads can also be played from a

connected MIDI keyboard. Well talk only about the pads to make things

easier to readbut remember you can always use either option.

You can also simply record on the MV-8000 just as you would with any

digital multitrack recorder. This is sampling, too, in a way. To learn more,

see the MV-8000 Direct RecordingWorkshop booklet.

Whats an Audio Phrase?

An audio phrase is a recording you trigger by striking a pad

to stop it, you hit its pad again. An audio phrase can be a:

sampled beat loop.

a sampled vocal.

an instrumental performance.

What makes audio phrases interesting is that you record themon audio tracks that can keep them locked in time to your

songs tempo. If the audio phrases original tempo is different

than the songs, the MV-8000 adjusts it to fit. I f a songs tempo

changes, the audio phrase automatically stretches or shrinks

to match it. This makes audio phrases great for beat loops.

You can put an audio phrase on every pad in a project if you

like. With 16 pads, and 32 banks of pads, thats 512 audio

phrases in a project, provided you have enough sample RAM.


4/15

Whats a Patch?

A patch puts a sampled note on each of the MV-8000 pads for

playing. A pad in a patch may trigger a sample of:

a note played on a drum or cymbal in a drum kit.

a note played on a percussion instrument.

a note played by a musical instrument. a note sung by a singer.

a sound effect.

Unlike audio phrases that you just start and stop, a patch is

something you play like an instrument. In fact, you select

patches in the MV-8000s INSTRUMENTS window.

When you record with a patch, you record onto a MIDI track.

This lets you edit your performance until it sounds exactly the

way you want it to, using the MV-8000s potent set of MIDIediting tools.

Since a MIDI track is made up of instructions for recreating your performance,

and not the sound of the patch itself, it always stays in time if your songs

tempo changes.

Audio Phrase or Patch? You Can Decide Later.

If you know you want to sample something, but arent yet sure

how you want to use it, go ahead and sample it anyway. Youcan deal with it later on using the MV-8000s Sample Manager.

Meanwhile, itll be safely stored in your projects SAMPLE folder

until youre ready to decide how you want to use it.

About Expanding Sample RAM

The MV-8000 ships with 128 MB of sample RAM, and you can

expand it up to 512 MB, as described in the MV-8000 Owners

Manual. The more RAM, the more samples you can use in

a project. If youre planning to use lots of samples in your

musicespecially loops, since they take up more spacewe

recommend expanding your sample RAM.

If you run out of room as you sample, think about expanding your sample

RAM. You can also clean out unused stuff from a projectsee the

MV-8000 Workshop Getting the Most from Sample RAMbooklet.

Sampling a Sound

The Hookup

Connect your mic or mics, instrument or turntable to the

MV-8000 using its rear-panel ANALOG INPUT jacks.

When youre not using

your PHONO jacks, keep

the included shorting

pin inserted in them.

If youre using:

a single mic, an electric guitar, bass, or other single-output

instrumentconnect it to the jack labeled MIC/LINE L.

a keyboard or other stereo instrumentconnect its left and

right outputs to the MIC/LINE L and R jacks, respectively.

a turntableconnect its left and right outputs to the

PHONO L and R jacks, respectively.

You can use either the MIC/LINE or the PHONO jacks, but not both at the

same time.

If youve installed an optional MV8-OP1 Audio I/O Expansion board in your

MV-8000, you can connect a stereo digital devicesuch as a synth with

digital outputsto one of the MV8-OP1s digital inputs.

Turning On Your Inputs

After making your connection, youve got to tell the MV-8000

which jacks you want to use.

1. Press the SYSTEM button.

2. Select Global from the SYSTEM menu to

display the GLOBAL window.

Whenever you want to select a numbered menu itemsuch as the

Global menu itemyou can also select it by pressing its number on the

MV-8000s numeric keypad and hitting ENTER.

If youve installed anoptional MV8-OP1expansion board,youll see its digitalconnectors here.

The Input Select parameter is automatically set to Analog unless youve

installed an MV8-OP1. If you have, select the desired digital input: Coaxial,

Optical, or R-BUS.

3. Set the Input Type parameter to:

Monoif youre sampling only from the MIC/LINE L

jack.

Stereoif youre sampling from both the MIC/LINE L

and R jacks, or from the two PHONO inputs.

Setting Your Analog Sampling/Input Level

1. Press the MIXER button to display the MIXER

(AUX/FX/AUDIO PHRASE/INPUT ) window.

IN (A) level

If the AUX/Phrs/In pane isnt visibleas shown hereclick its tab at the

top of the window to bring it forward.

2. Set the IN (A) faders level to 100, as shown above.

3. While listening to the sound you want to sample, adjust the

front-panel SENS knob for each analog input youre using

so that the level shown in the IN (A) meters onscreen is as

loud as possible without lighting its red Clip indicators.

Clip indicators

If youre sampling in stereo, set the L and R knobs to the same position.

Once they light, the Clip indicators s tay lit to make sure you see that theres

been a too-loud moment even if you didnt see it happening. To switch the

Clip indicators back off, click the Reset Peak button.

The Sampling Setup

1. Press the SAMPLING button to display the

SAMPLING window.

The meters and Reset

Peak button here work

the same way as they

did in the GLOBAL

window. This lets you

double-check your

sampling level.

This bar shows how much sample RAM you have left for sampling in

the current projectthe more white, the more room.

2. Set Sample Type to the type of sample youd like to create.

If youre just using the MIC/LINE L jack, set it to Mono.

If youre using both MIC/LINE jacks, a turntable, or a digital instrument,

youll normally set Sample Type to Stereo. To make a mono sample

containing both sides of a stereo sound, set Sample Type to Mono.

Automatic or Manual Sampling

Start

You can start sampling manually or automatically by setting

the Start Trigger parameter as desired. Set it to:

Manualto start sampling when you click the Start button

at the bottom of the window.

Levelto begin sampling automatically when the sound

youre sampling reaches a certain volume level.

The Level Start Trigger Pad and Play settings are u sed in resampling, which

well get to in a bit.

When you set Start Trigger to Level, the Level and Pre Sample

Time parameters become active. Heres what they do:

LevelThe MV-8000 automatically starts sampling

when the input signal reaches the level specified by thisparameter.

Pre Sample TimeThe MV-8000 can add a little bit of

time to the front of a sample to help ensure that the very

beginning of its sound isnt chopped off. Try leaving it

set to 0ms (0 milliseconds). If you find youre missing

anything at the front of your sample, increase the Pre

Sample Time value.

Stop

You can also stop sampling manually or automatically by

setting the Stop Trigger parameter as desired. Set it to:

Manualto stop sampling when you click the Stop button

at the bottom of the window. (We know you cant see that

button now, but once sampling begins, you will.)

Beatso that sampling ends after a certain number of

beats. You select the number of beats you want using the

Beat parameter. It becomes active when you choose Beat

as your Stop Trigger value.

If you want to stop sampling using the Beat setting, press the BPM/TAP

button and set the current song tempo so it matches what youre sampling.

Of course, for this to work, you need to know the samples tempo.

Timeso that sampling ends after a certain amount of

time. You select the amount of time you want by setting

the Time parameter that becomes active when you choose

Time as your Stop Trigger value.

Other Sampling Options

The checkboxes at the bottom of the screen turn some

sampling options on or off:

Auto DivideWhen you turn Auto Divide on, the MV-8000

creates a new sample each time theres silence that lasts

as long as the Gap Time setting. (The Gap Time parameter

becomes active when you switch on Auto Divide.) This

feature can be handy when youre sampling a few things

in a row, and dont want to stop in-between.

Auto Divide provides a quick-and-dirty way to create multiple samples of

related sounds. A better approach, though, is to make one big sample of all

of the sounds and then use the MV-8000s Auto Chop feature to slice them

up. After Auto Chop, each sample starts precisely at the beginning of its

soundits ready to by played right away, with no fur ther editing. To learn

more about Auto Chop, see the MV-8000 Auto C hopWorkshop booklet.

Auto EmphasisIf youve got a sound youd like to

brighten up during sampling, turn on Auto Emphasis,

which increases the treble content in the sound.

Auto NormalizeAuto Normalize boosts the volume of

your sample to its loudest, and therefore best, level. Its

generally a good idea to turn Auto Normalize on.

Resampling

The MV-8000 allows you to sample the MV-8000 itselfor

more specifically, its main stereo outputsusing a process

called resampling. You might resample the MV-8000 to:

capture an entire mix as a stereo samplethat you can burn

onto an audio CD.

create insanely complex soundsby sampling a sound over

and over, tweaking it or adding more effects each time.

To get to the RESAMPLING window, click the Re-Sampling tab

at the top of the SAMPLING window.

To resample the MV-8000s output in stereo, set Sample Type to Stereo, as

shown here. To squash it down to mono, set Sample type to Mono.

The parameters for resampling are the same as for sampling,though, for resampling, youll want to set Start Trigger to:

Padto begin sampling when you strike a pad. Use the

Pad setting when youre resampling an MV-8000 audio

phrase. When you hit a pad that plays the audio phrase,

resampling automatically begins, too.

Playto begin sampling when you hit the sequencer

PLAY button. When youre capturing a whole mix as a new

sample, use this setting. Hit PLAY to play the mix, and

resampling automatically begins.

To resample an MV-8000 patch, sequence the note(s) you want to resample

and use the Play Start Trigger setting.

The Sampling Session

Once youve set all the parameters in the SAMPLINGor

RESAMPLINGwindow as desired, youre ready to sample.

Heres how.

To Begin Sampling

To begin sampling, click Start. If Start Trigger is set to:

Manualsampling starts immediately, so go ahead and

play or sing the sound you want to sample.

Levelthe MV-8000 waits for your sound. Once the sound

reaches the Start Trigger level, sampling begins. Padthe MV-8000 waits for you to strike your sounds pad.

Once you hit it, sampling begins.

Playthe MV-8000 waits for start playback of the

sequencer. Once you hit PLAY, sampling begins.

To Stop Sampling

If Stop Trigger is set to:

Manualclick Stop.

Beatdont do anything. Sampling automatically stops

after the specified number of beats.

Timedont do anything. Sampling automatically stops

after the specified amount of time.

What You See Is What You Got

Once sampling ends, the MV-8000 shows you your sample in

the RESULTS window.

If youve turned on Auto Divide, youll se e a list of the samples youve made.

Click on a sample, and then click OK to see it in the RESULTS window.

In the RESULTS window, you prepare the sample for use by

trimming itthis saves sample RAM and makes using the

sample easierand setting its beat grid.

1. Begin by setting the Start Point value exactly at thebeginning of the samples sound. As you increase the

value, the green Start Point flag moves to the right toward

the sounds waveform onscreen.

You can select and adjust any of the Start Points digits individually. Try

starting with the fifth digit from the right to move the green flag quickly,

and then make smaller adjustments by setting the digits to its right.

Listen to your Start Point setting by clicking Previewthe sample should

play immediately without anything being chopped off the front.

The greenStart Point

flag

When youre done, the green flag sits at the left edge of

the sound.

2. Set the End Point so that the red End point flags at the end

of the samples sound, as shown on the next page.

If youre going to use your sample as a loop, turn on the Loop Parameter so

the sample loops when you press Previewthis makes finding the exact

End Point much easier.

We sampled one extra beat

in this loop so that wed

know exactly where to set

the red End Point flag

right before the extra beat.

3. Set the BPM Base Note parameter to the number of beats

in your sample so the MV-8000 can automatically move

beat lines into place onscreen, and so it can calculate the

samples tempo, or BPM, for Beats Per Minute.

Number of beats in the sampleMV-8000 figures out BPM

Light gray beat lines moved into place

Setting the BPM Base Note also lets the MV-8000 time-stretch or time-

shrink a sample when its used as an audio phrase.

4. Click Name to display the EDIT SAMPLE NAME window,

where you can name the sample. Naming a samples a

good ideaif you have a bunch of unnamed samples,

things can get confusing fast. When youre done naming

the sample, click OK to return to the RESULT window.

5. Checkmark the Truncate box so that when you leave this

window, the MV-8000 trims away everything before the

Start Point location and after the End Point. This way, you

wont use up sample RAM on stuff you dont need.

We namedour sample

Broke Beat.

If you didnt normalize your sample back in the SAMPLING or RE-SAMPLING

screenand would like to do it nowcheckmark the Normalize box.

If youre not ready to assign your sample to an audio phrase or patch, you

can stash it away for now in the projects sample RAM by clicking OK. At

some later point, you can select the sample in the PROJECT menus Sample

Manager and click Quick Assign to display the window shown below.

6. Click Quick Assign to display the Quick Assign window.

If you have a sample containing multiple sounds, or want to slice up a loop,

you can click the Chop button to create a patch with each sound on its own

pad. See the MV-8000 Workshop Auto C hopbooklet for details.

In the next couple of sections, well explain how to set up a

sample as an audio phrase (click here) or get it into a patch

(click here).

Making an Audio Phrase

In the Quick Assign window shown on Page 9, click AsgnToAPhrs

(for Assign to Audio Phrase)the AUDIO PHRASE QUICK

ASSIGN window appears.

The currently

selected padis outlined in

black.

Any pad thatalready playsan audiophrase isgray.

Select a pad for playing the sample as an audio phrase by:

dialing in the desired padusing the Assign To parameter.

striking the desired padin the current pad bank. To

change pad banks, press the PAD BANKS button, pick thebank you want, click Close, and then hit the desired pad.

Once youve selected the pad you want, click Execute.

To play the audio phrase, press the AUDIO

bank.

If the audio phrases pad bank isnt shown, press PAD BANKS to select the

right bank.

Setting Up How the Audio Phrase Behaves

With the AUDIO PHRASES (PAD) window

open, hit the pad that plays the audio

phrase, and then press the QUICK EDIT

buttonthe audio phrases parameters

appear in the AUDIO PHRASE EDIT window.

In the AUDIO PHRASE EDIT window, you can set how the audio

phrase plays. Heres what its parameters do:

Pad Playsets the way the pad plays the audio phrase:

GateIn Gate mode, the pad plays its audio phrase for

only as long as you hold down the pad.

TriggerIn Trigger mode, the audio phrases pad acts

as an on/off switch. The first time you hit the pad, its

audio phrase plays. (If its set to loop, itll keep playing.)

The second time you hit the pad, it stops.

DrumIn Drum mode, striking a pad causes its audio

phrase to play all the way through, and then stop,

whether the pad is set to loop or not. If you hit the pad

a second time, it starts playing again from the top.


11/15

Loop ModeIf youd like your audio phrase to loop, set

Loop Mode to something other than Off. You can choose:

Start-Endso the audio phrase plays all the way

through over and over.

Loop-Endso the audio phrase plays from the start,

and then repeats from the Loop Point setting to the

end of the sample over and over.

If you turned on looping back on the RESULTS screen, your audio phrase is

set to Start-End by default.

The Loop Point parameter becomes active when you set Loop Mode to

Loop-End.

BPM Base Note, Start Point, End PointThese parameters

from the RESULTS screen appear again here for your

convenience, and act the same way.

Loop PointWhen Loop Mode is set to Loop-End, Loop

Point is the location in the sample where looping begins.

LevelThis sets the overall volume of the audio phrase.

Velocity ControlTurn this on if you want the volume of

the audio phrase to be controlled by how hard you hit its

pad.

If you want all of your audio phrases to always be as loud as possible, hit

the FIXED VELOCITY buttonlocated above the padsso it lights. By

default, thisll make them all loud, all the time.

Coarse TuneUse Coarse Tune to shift the tuning of the

audio phrase up or down in keyboard (semitone) steps.

Fine TuneUse Fine Tune to shift the tuning of the audio

phrase up or down by 1/100ths of a semitone.

ReverseYou can flip an audio phrase around by turning

Reverse on.

BPM SyncWith BPM sync on, the tempo of the audio

phrase becomes automatically locked with the MV-8000s

sequencer. This parameter is the key to one of the best

reasons for using audio phrases.

Stretch TypeThis parameter selects the quality of the

MV-8000s time-stretching or -shrinking when BPM Sync is

turned on. Higher values generally mean higher quality. Ifyoure not sure how to set this, leave it set to Auto.

Excl. GroupIf youve got two or more audio phrases that

you never want to hear at the same time, assign them to

the same exclusive group. (There are 31 of them.) If an

audio phrase in an exclusive group is already playing when

you trigger another one, the first one is automatically

stoppedthis is a handy way to make sure certain audio

phrases never overlap.

The AUDIO PHRASE EDIT Window Buttons

The buttons at the bottom of the window offer more options:

Menu buttonClick this button, or press MENU, to display

options that allow you to re-name the audio phrase, or

export it for use in another project or to your computer.

CommandThis button displays a menu of operations the

MV-8000 can perform on your audio phrases sample:

EmphasisTurn this on to add a high-end boost to

your sample, if you want to.

NormalizeIf you havent already normalized your

sample, and want to now, use this command.

Time StretchIf you want to permanently change thetempo of your sample, use this command.

TruncateIf you havent already trimmed your sample,

and want to now, use this command.

Set MonoThis makes a stereo audio phrase mono.

Making a Patch

Heres how to get a sample into a patch for playing. You can

create a patch that plays just one soundsuch as a kick

drumyoull record by itself on a sequencer track. Or maybe

you want to add a new sample to an already-existing patch.

To add a sample to a patch that already exists, that patch has to be in the

current project and assigned to one of the parts in the current song.

In the Quick Assign window shown on Page 9, click

AsgnToPatchthe PATCH QUICK ASSIGN window appears.

The currentlyselected padis outlined in

black.

Any pad thatalready playsa sample isgray.

This shows you the the key, or keys, that play the sample from a connected MIDI keyboard.

1. Select the desired part. If you want to:

create a new patch that plays your sampleselect a

part thats set to Init Patch (as shown above).

add your sample to an already-existing patchselect a

part thats playing that patch.

2. Select the pad thatll play your new sample by:

dialing in the desired padusing the first Assign Toparameter. (The second one is grayed-out.)

striking the desired padin the current bank. To change

pad banks, press the PAD BANKS button, pick the bank

you want, click Close, and then hit the desired pad.

Though youll normally assign your sample to an unused pad, you can

actually stack up to four samples on a pad. This lets you create layered

sounds or set the pad to play different samples depending on how hard you

whack it, as explained on Page 58 of the MV-8000 Owner s Manual.

To learn how to play samples across a range of pads, at different pitches,

see the MV-8000 Spreadin g a Sampl e Acro ss th e Pads Workshop booklet.

3. Click Execute.

The MV-8000 takes you back to the SAMPLING screen in

case you want to create another sample.

Playing Your Patch

1. Press the INSTRUMENTS button to

display the current songs instruments

in the INSTRUMENTS window.

2. Select the part that uses your patch.

3. Strike the pad that plays your sample.

Normally, you control the volume of a sound by how hard you hit its pad.

To automatically make your sounds loud, light the FIXED VELOCITY button

above the pads. By default, thisll make your sounds play at full volume.

Controlling the Behavior of the Sample

Follow the instructions in Playing Your Patch on Page 12, and

then press the QUICK EDIT button to display the PARTIAL EDIT

window.

In this window, you set the behavior of the partial that playsthe sample.

A partial is a group of up to four samples that are played together by a pad

or by a range of pads.

Sample Volume and Stereo Position Settings

LevelThis parameter sets the volume of the partial that

plays the sample.

You can adjust the overall volume of the patch, too, and that interacts withthis parameters setting. Its a good idea in a single-sample patch to set

this to 127 (all the way up). If youve got multiple samples in the patch, use

this parameter to set their volumes relative to each other, with the sample

you want to be the loudest set to 127.

PanThis sets the stereo location of the partial.

If youre working in a patch that contains a bunch of drum kit sounds, you

can pan their individual partials to sound like a real drum kit.

When you record with a patch, its track has its own Pan setting that shifts

the stereo position of all of the samples in the patch to the left or right.

Cause of Effects

Output Assignsets where the samples sound goes. You

can select:

Mixso the sample is sent directly into the main

MV-8000 mix as is.

Aux1-4so the sample is sent to the Aux bus feeding

the MFX (for Multi-Effects) effect processor. This

allows you to add MFX to the sample.

You can also send related samples to the same Aux bus, allowing you to

change all of their volumes at once in the MIXER (AUX/FX/AUDIO PHRASE/

INPUT) window.

If youve installed an optional MP8-OP1 audio expansion board, you can

send the sample to a single output jack (Mlt1-8) or to a stereo pair of

output jacks (M1/2-7/8).

DlyCho Sendsets the amount of delay or chorus you

want to add.

Rev Sendsets the amount of reverb you want to add.

Playing Fast and Playing Rolls

Assign TypeThis parameter sets what happens when you

play fast notes or rolls. If you set it to:

Multthe sample plays through each time you hit the

pad. This setting produces the most natural sound.

Sngleach time you hit the pad, it cuts off the

previous note, creating a more mechanical sound.

Saving Your Patch

1. Press INSTRUMENTS and make sure the patchs part is

selected.

2. Click Library and select the project library location where

youd like to save your patch. You can put it anywhere

you want. If youre saving a new patch, pick an Init Patch

location. If youve added your samples to an existingpatch, select that patchs location to update it with the

new version.

3. Press Write Here, and then Yes to finish the operation.

When youre done working on the MV-8000, shut it down properly by

pressing SHUTDOWN, and be sure to save your project. If you dont, all your

work will be lost when your turn off the MV-8000.
